By 2035, 2 out of 5 children (40%!) will be living with overweight or obesity, according to the latest data from World Obesity Atlas.  

So after a breadth of posts, events, articles, ... throughout #obesitycareweek, we chose to highlight this one from World Obesity Forum.

It lays down clearly the multi-faceted factors and need for broadening our approach when handling this topic. Within this larger lense, the obesogenic environment most of us live in, or even food deserts some live in is a massive hurdle.

It is far from trivial to make appropriate choices, especially when they are scarce and we consumers are often misinformed (𝘯𝘰, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘴).

📲 So our GoCoCo food scanning app does its best to provide support in making properly informed choices, and help find alternatives when relevant.💪 Try it out, and take control of one of the key factors of weight control and health.
